I can’t quite figure out why the background color is not changing. I’m practicing Internal CSS.
```
<!DOCTYPE html>
  <html>
    <head>
      <title>InternalCSS</title>
      <style type="text/css">
       body {
         font-family: bell gothic;
         background-color: rgb (0,204,255);}
       h1 {
           color: rgb (255,153,0);}
    </style>
  </head>
  <body>
    <h1>Potatoes</h1>

There are dozens of different potato
       varieties. They are usually described as
       early, second early and main crop.

</body>
  </html>

Thank you so much! In some ways I’m beginning to understand CSS and another way I find it frustrating.

I’ve seen you are quite knowledgeable in coding; is there any difference between using the style tag with/without the “type”?

I don’t believe so. Browsers have gotten quite clever at realising when something is style tag…after all, what else would you put in there?

In fact, after checking, it is optional. Here’s what MDN says

This attribute defines the styling language as a MIME type (charset should not be specified). This attribute is optional and default to text/css if it’s missing.
